I purchased these shoes about 1985. They were on sale for $100.00 and I could not resist. That is a pretty low price for a pair of Bruno Magli shoes. I adored them but only wore them once or twice. The reason being is that they are dressy shoes and I did not go out much in those days. Oh, well, now they are available for you. This is a pair of shoes for a "shoe connnoisseur". They are perfect for a bride's "something old". They have open toes and a charming rosebud on the top. Very comfortable...after all, they are Bruno Magli. Treat them kindly, as they are precious.
